Las Colinas, a rural region of northwestern Ecuador, is considered a lawless frontier. Violence against women is common, in part because of its perceived legitimacy. Since 2000, various nongovernmental organizations have conducted workshops on women's rights, producing contradictory effects on social relations and rates of violence. Understandings and manifestations of gender violence are changing as transnational human rights discourses enter Las Colinas and local women and men learn about human rights and gain access to state-based justice. Human rights and improved access to justice offer powerful openings for women and families, but their empowering potential is limited by growing social and economic vulnerability and discrepancies between rights-based subjectivities and preexisting understandings of the self. Las Colinas, una región rural del noroeste de Ecuador, se considera una frontera sin ley. La violencia contra las mujeres es común, en parte debido a que se percibe como legítima. Desde el año 2000, diversas organizaciones no gubernamentales han llevado a cabo talleres sobre derechos de la mujer, generando efectos contradictorios en las relaciones sociales y los índices de violencia. Las concepciones y las manifestaciones de violencia de género están cambiando conforme discursos transnacionales de derechos humanos que llegan a Las Colinas y mujeres y hombres locales aprenden acerca de éstos y obtienen acceso a la justicia estatal. Los derechos humanos y un mayor acceso a la justicia abren nuevas puertas para las mujeres y las familias, pero su empoderamiento potencial está limitado por una creciente vulnerabilidad social y económica, así como las discrepancias entre subjetividades basadas en dichos derechos y nociones preexistentes del ser
